In the quiet, early morning hours of August 2, 2020, the life of 38-year-old Carltrovious Moore, a Black male from Chattanooga, Tennessee, was tragically cut short. Witnesses in the area of Taylor and Gilbert Streets reported hearing the sharp crack of multiple gunshots piercing the dawn stillness at approximately 5 a.m. Responding to the calls, Chattanooga Police officers arrived to a grim scene.
They discovered Moore, suffering from what were described as apparent and multiple gunshot wounds.
Emergency medical services were dispatched to the location, but it was too late to save him. The investigation into his death was swiftly launched by the Chattanooga Police Department. The initial findings pointed to a homicide, a life taken by violence. Moore was a familiar face in his community and a dedicated employee at the M&M Mars plant. His sudden and violent death sent ripples of grief and shock through his family and circle of friends. He was a father to a daughter, Jamaya Carter, a son to Sherrilyn Moore, and a brother, leaving behind a large family to mourn his loss.
Despite the Chattanooga Police Department's thorough investigation into the fatal shooting, the case has grown cold. In the years that have passed since that August morning, no suspects have been publicly identified, and no arrests have been made in connection with the murder of Carltrovious Moore. The case officially remains open, a painful and unresolved chapter for his loved ones. The community is still encouraged to come forward with any information that might bring a measure of justice and closure to a family still waiting for answers.
